In just more than 30 years, the weather in Salt Lake City will feel more like Las Vegas with annual temperatures increasing by around 36 degrees and the warmest month increasing by 41 degrees. This is according to a new global analysis of how some cities’ weather will shift under climate change.
The Crowther Lab in Switzerland has created a global data map that pairs one city’s future climate conditions with those of a current city. For example, the Portland, Oregon’s climate in 2050 will be more like the 2019 conditions in San Antonio, Texas.
